Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I have a sensative stomach and during Ironmans and Ultra-Runs have a terrible time ingesting calories. GU has always been my go-to energy source when all else is failing. It's my energy source of choice for everything longer than a 2 hour race.

Tried the Orange burst for the first time on a 1/2 Marathon. I was truely amazed. I never lost my edge. I took it at the begining and at mile 8. Just was impressed with it for the little investment, how big of a difference it made for me. I will be using it more often for my longer races.

I love the Espresso Love before any workout. I'm not a big eater before I run and I don't indulge in any other caffeine so the boost really makes a difference.

The newer mint GU is a refreshing improvement to the original chocolate. What flavor! Love it. Hard not to want this outside running. Makes me look forward to logging those miles!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Great to use during marathon training and on race day! The best part is the chocolate GU flavor tastes like chocolate cupcake icing! They definitely help give that extra boost in energy, especially during those last few miles.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Could not do those long runs without the GU! It keeps me going. I have tried to run long distance without the GU and I end up fatigued and cannot run the distance. Go GU! Try it; it is great!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use this product 30 minutes before any scheduled run of at least 1.5 hours, then every 45 minutes thereafter.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I was very leary of a sweet gel but just ran a 1/2 marathon and used this. I truely love the taste its just like eating choc. icing out of a cup.

Recently started using GU on my long runs training for 1st marathon, and the difference is definitely noticeable. As a 25-year, early morning runner, my favorites runs are before breakfast with little to nothing on my stomach. That works fine for runs of less than an hour, but I struggled when I got an hour into long runs. Now, I down one GU with water 15 minutes before I run and one every 45 minutes during my run, and I've had no problems keeping my energy up all the way through my workouts.

This is my favorite go to gel! Love the Salty caramel flavor the best! Works quick!

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use during long rides and long run. Sometimes before workout.

GU Energy Gels are my favorite sports nutrition before and during long distance running events. They taste great and they're easy to pack in a hydration belt. The prices and discounts at Roadrunner Sports are always the best around!

I use this before and during long (10 mile) runs.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

ONE OF THE BETTER GELS. THE CAFFEINE SEEMS JUST RIGHT.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Honestly, during longer events I get tired of taking in GU's, but they definitely help.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I typically GU 20 minutes before a long run (10 miles or longer) and at miles 5 and 8. I can tell it helps me get through the last few miles. Vanilla is the best flavor. It gets a little sticky sometimes, but the positives out weigh that.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I use the product about 15 minutes before and during usually if I am running 30/50 minutes range. If I am running longer I take a salt tablet first and will take GU on the run.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

There were many other options on where to get GU. This site had amazing response and customer service and pricing etc. I prefer this site to many others that I have used.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Perfect size. Easy to pin to running shorts or shirt. No extra hip belt needed.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

This is my favorite gel for the price so far. I'm a distance runner so I put in several 15 to 25 mile runs. I've tried several brands and flavors of gels, and these are as good as any. They are easy on my stomach and keep me going without issues. The raspberry flavor tastes like jelly, so not offensive.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I have tried several other brands, but keep coming back to GU. I have tried several GU flavors, but keep coming back to Vanilla Bean. I think the taste and thickness of the Vanilla is the best for me. The only con with the product is the packaging. About 1 1/2 years ago, my friends and I noticed that the packet has a lot of air in it, which makes it puffy and hard to carry multiple packets in some of our belts or pockets. However, I have noticed that since they have made this new packaging design, most of the packets have less air and are flatter now. Overall, a very good product.

Salted Caramel Gu's taste good and give me added energy

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I planned on just buying a few GU's but then I saw the variety box for the price it was it was such a great deal I'm glad I bought it

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

Big Apple has a pretty terrible after taste! All other flavors so far that I've tried have been excellent (savory and sweet). I have used this product to help me train for marathons, half marathons and even a small 3 mile run. I notice a considerable boost of energy during my run and this product has helped me finish a longer run several times when I wanted to quit.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I've tried plenty of other gels, and GU is my favorite. It has a good nutritional profile, taste good, and it does not become runny when it gets warm (from warmer temperatures outside or from just carrying it in your pocket).

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I love the different flavors, except for the jet blackberry, tastes worse than asparagus. The variety is nice so you are not having the same flavor every use. Normally I buy 2-3 different flavors, but I wanted to try to sampler. I do recommend this to anyone who cannot decide on a flavor they prefer.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

First time using gu. Tried it on my 13 mile long run. Worked great felt great afterwards. They don't have the little cut out opening tabs that could be hooked on run belt. But not that necessary. Put them in my sports bra. Lol

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I usually use a gu to help get me through tough times in a trail run when my energy is dropping. When I am preparing for a longer run, I will eat a gu a few minutes before starting.

Nothing helps stave off a bonk better, even if I waited longer then i should have for the calories.

My daughter with type 1 diabetes carries it with her and uses for low blood sugar.

Comments about GU Energy Gel 24 pack Nutrition:

I've been using Gu Energy gels for over a year while training for a half marathon and now a full marathon. I take one before heading out for a run, and take one for every 45-60 minutes that I'm running. They are easy to store in a pocket or sports bra and easy to consume while running. They really give you a boost of energy to keep going! My only complaint is that some of the flavors are a bit too sweet for me, but most are pretty tastey.
